Good quotes, I like #3,then there is:
"The only way to have a friend is to be one".

In the spirit of good friends, lets form a sunflower chain for George. He is a good friend to all of us and now we need to be his friends.

Great idea anneliese_. Sunflowers is the symbol of caring here at the GP. I'm in.
How about starting a thread with the subject, "Sunflowers for George" or something like that, and we can contribute our "sunflowers" to that thread.

I'm in, too, please. Sunflowers are already on their way to George and Leone from me, but more are coming! :>)
